Ingredients used to make Almond Milk Tea Protein Bars

• Protein Powder – You can use any protein powder for this, but in this recipe I used a vanilla plant-based protein powder, like this one below.

• Coconut Flour - you can use any brand of coconut flour for this recipe.  Here is a brand of coconut flour I like to use.
• Almond Milk - or any milk of choice.
• Black Tea Powder - I used the Lipton decaffeinated brand, below

• Sweetened Condensed (Coconut) Milk – If you love milk tea, I bet you already know that the best tasting milk teas are sweetened with Sweetened Condensed Milk. The addition of condensed milk adds a richness and subtle creaminess to the beverage, and I knew I had to add it to this protein bar recipe, too! To keep it vegan, we can use this dairy-free Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk, which you can buy online, below

• White chocolate chips - you can use any white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate), but to make these low-carb, use a lower sugar, stevia sweetened brand instead. For a dairy-free, vegan alternative, try this brand.

How to Make

Recipe Variations and Optional Add Ins:

• Feel free to experiment with natural flavoring / extracts. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract (I didn't feel like it was essential so I left it out in this recipe), or other flavorings or extracts.

How to Make this Healthier

• Make this even healthier by adding a handful of nuts, seeds and old-fashioned oats to add texture and nutrition. Even better, add a tablespoon of ground flaxseed, hemp seeds, or chia seeds.

How to Store Almond Milk Tea Protein Bars

• Store these protein bars covered in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.

Final Tips

• Coconut flour and protein powders are all very different depending on brands, so if you find that the dough is too soft, add more coconut flour; if the dough is too thick, add a teaspoon or more of water, honey or liquid sweetener of choice.
